Cavity wall insulation for Ormskirk properties
Ormskirk is among the towns we cover in Lancashire, alongside Skelmersdale, Leyland and Chorley. It is around 16 miles south-west of Preston.
If a wall in Ormskirk is not suitable, for example because of an undiagnosed damp patch or a very exposed gable, you are told so in writing with the reason. Where an Ormskirk property has an extension or a conservatory, we check how the old and new walls meet, because that junction is often missed.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Parts of Lancashire face some of the heaviest wind-driven rain in the UK, especially exposed coastal and upland sites. Here the survey is stricter: some walls suit only certain certified systems, and some should not be filled at all.
As for paperwork, in Ormskirk filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

What happens on the day?
Holes of around 22mm are drilled in the mortar joints in a set pattern, roughly a metre apart. The insulation is blown in from the bottom up until each section is full, then every hole is filled with colour-matched mortar. Air bricks and flues are protected, and a cavity barrier is fitted where your wall joins a neighbour's.
